I Miss Vioxx - and Other Tales of Woe.

So I decided to get SV Spoiled last night cause I was all debating finishing my Chloe vid right now as opposed to waiting for a bit more material. Based on when the next ep airs - not any spoiler - I'll probably finish the rough draft tonight as I want to finish this vid before Cappy's birthday.

Other than that, I have no comment on any spoiler, whatsoever. My head might have exploded - it is hard to say.

I'm still not ready to do the Deadwood vid. I just - I don't know if I am gonna be up to this. I get all pumped and I am at work or in my car and then I sit at the computer and I just decide right away that there is no way I can tackle this, there is no way I'll do it justice, it will end up being flat and no one will ever understand it and what the hell are you thinking?

And I won't have an answer for that.

My hands feel better today. I am typing rather normally now - holding the cursor for longhand is still pretty near impossible and I think tonight I will most likely be relying on the old left handed peck for typing so... meh, I'll just watch TV. I'm not as stiff today, but the aching is either worse or I am just not ignoring it as effectively. This weather sucks and I am heating up the paraffin bath thing Mom gave me when I get home.

So, tonight will be "Gilmore Girls," paraffin hand treatment, and then finish the Chloe vid.

Vidding doesn't hurt my hands although sometimes I do switch the mouse over to my left. Interesting thing to note: My left hand cannot time a beat. I have no idea what it is up with this - I can use it to set start and end points on a clip and I can use it to pull that clip into the timeline, but getting the clip to line up and time the movement and set the beat points... I cannot do it with my left hand - it is like I *think* differently and then my right hand twitches. Very strange and I wonder sometimes if my corpus callosum is even functioning.

I'm feeling kinda like I want to do something frivolous and fluffy right now - all shine and no pain. I've got a song and I've got and idea and I've got the source so as soon as I bury my Should-Be-Working-On-the-Deadwood-Vid Angst, I'll start clipping for it.

The idea is to just stay busy - to not get in anymore no-vidding funks. Cause eventually it will be August and I imagine at some point either Lum or I will say:

It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it.

And I want to have Vids with me when I say it. Or she says it. Or something. And maybe the Deadwood vid will be finished then? Maybe not? It doesn't really matter - cause the BBP will be completed.

Oh - Perspective is NICE!

We'll look at each other and say it in unison. Somewhere on I-65? heh We'll have all of those props, too. I guarantee it.

I'm clipping for MSH RIGHT NOW!! I have the main characters laid out, and the bulk of the eps already spindled and mutilated. Once I finish this one, I'll be over halfway done. [still panicky]

Shhhh - just think about England. You'll be fine.

England? What's England got to do with it!?! Oh! the sun never sets on this project. that's right.. yeah

Or "just lie back and think of"... choose your English poison and run with it.

Well, if I do lie back and think of England, which I *have*. Once or twice. my mind wanders over to Ireland and Galway and then ... Angel. And that's not healthy. I'm not vidding Angel, and even though I know that everything is AAA, I can't show that in the BBP. It would be tacky.

Mmmmm tacky Angel... what? I'm sorry, you were saying?

And a ballad by an arena rock band from 1978 playing on the jukebox. [makes dreamy eyes] You know he loves the power ballads.

Am I the only person who thinks that back when Angel made the decision to get off the streets and help Buffy, that he was listening to "Eye of the Tiger"?

Cause that is just Classic Angel.

Oh totally. I think that Angel thinks of himself in a montage. With dissolves and overlays in appropriate places.

Annnnnddd... you know what I want to vid now. C'mon, I know you know what would be the Perfect Classic Angel vid - MONTAGE!!!

As soon as I finish MSH, let's *do it*. A MONTAGE!

Now you know how the rest of us feel? ;)

I'll probably finish the rough draft tonight as I want to finish this vid before Cappy's birthday.

I will be back in my door by 7, which I think is 9 by you, possibly 8. And I will sit at the computer and not move until the rough draft is done and ready to send my way. ;) I can actually be useful now... finally someone vids something were I feel as though I could actually be good as a beta, even a mini beta... because I am like *one* with Chloe right now. ::nods:: I might actually be good for something *gasp*

My hands feel better today.

::pets [livejournal.com profile] sisabet's hands:: Rest your hands as much as possible. And take breaks while vidding. If you feel a little tension in your hand, that means it's time to take a break. So get up, get a snack, contemplate other vids, pick out clothes for the morning, and then go back to vidding. Trust me... we don't want your hand to be as sad as mine is. ::mutters bitterly about surgery this summer::

Hee - you are so eager for this vid, but remember - it comes with a cost.

::counts Roswell chickens before Roswell eggs::

Repetitive movements are not so much the problem (and thankfully, not likely to be one with the tablet pc for work). It is just stiffness and pain in the joints -- last night just pecking at the keys was ultimately too much to deal with, painwise.

[identity profile] piper47.livejournal.com 2005-03-08 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I know I know... And I will have that vid finished. In time for VVC. ::scared:: You promise me if I send my vid to premiere you'll take care of it for me?

[identity profile] sisabet.livejournal.com 2005-03-08 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I will hold your hand the entire way. And they want new vids by new vidders - it will be great!

[identity profile] piper47.livejournal.com 2005-03-08 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I won't be there remember? I'm sending my vid on blind faith. I'm sending it to the big city all on it's own. My poor baby is going to be so scared without me there.

feel better
